    Vienna is righting an interstellar wrong as part of the year-long 200th birthday celebrations for Waltz King Johann Strauss II. The composer of “The Blue Danube” waltz, Strauss gave the world a hummable tune that still sets people swaying. From Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 masterpiece “2001: A Space Odyssey”, to Homer Simpson munching chips in weightless space, “The Blue Danube” is welded into popular culture. In a place where music reigns, it’s undeniably the theme song of Vienna.

    Chef Neal Brown pulls a glistening hunk of seared meat from the flames in the short film “Heat & Meat”. He holds it in his hands and bites into it like an apple. The juices run.

The global feel-good virtual trip begins in the blazing heat of 82 Celsius degrees (180 Fahrenheit) designed to emulate a red rock desert, moves to a steamy El Salvador rainforest, and is followed by the minus-10 Celsius (14 Fahrenheit) chill of British Columbia’s Coast Mountains. And that’s just the first half.

    For more than 40 years, Greenwich Village record shop owner John Pita has had a window on Bob Dylan history. He owns The Record Runner store, which faces the single block of Jones Street where Dylan was photographed walking arm-in-arm with his girlfriend and muse Suze Rotolo on a snowy February day in 1963. The photo became the cover of Dylan’s second album, The Freewheelin‘ Bob Dylan, and a pop culture calling card for one of New York’s most historic and fascinating urban neighborhoods.
